Plight of veteran caregivers in Canada requires immediate government attention

March 25, 2021 — The National Council of Veteran Associations in Canada (NCVA) takes the position that the plight of veteran caregivers in Canada requires immediate government attention. Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) should follow a 'one veteran-one standard' approach by adopting a comprehensive program model for all veteran caregivers, thereby resulting in the elimination of artificial cut-off dates that arbitrarily distinguish veterans and their caregivers based on whether the veteran was injured before or after 2006.
